This book for aspiring entomologists introduces the 6 main families of insects found in daily life, in gardens and houses. Short texts (scientific yet perfectly suited to young readers) describe the anatomy, habitat, life cycle, and behaviors of the stag beetle, ladybug, field cricket, large peacock moth, domestic bee, honeypot ant, green shield bug, and dragonfly. Large-format illustrations and precise sketches accompany the texts. Each chapter ends with a quiz to review what has been learned.
